Have seen a few Skandika tents on good ole EBay (or bad ole EBay to some peeps !!) .Am interested in the Skandika Bologna 5 person Frame or Canyon 5 person frame tent (actually both look like tunnel tents).Anyone here have opinions on Skandika make at all ?

Have to say both husband & myself have camped a couple of times years ago but not with our 2 kids.

Cheers

Jane

Nice if you get it cheap. I tried to but it looks like you'll never get it for less than £130 plus delivery. Someone of from the company must be in e-bay checking and biding so you don't get away with a bargain.

Anyway, I did a lot of research and finally found a Royal Avignon 5 Plus for £158,50 including delivery from Thefamilytentshop.com. I know it is not a SIG and an old model, but it has several things that the Skandika doesn't like horizontal stabilization poles, a cover/porch and curtains in the front windows. You have to be very careful to spot this differences as they are subtle.

Haven't received the tent yet and probably will try it in the next couple of weeks, but at £158 I think that it is a good price, comparing all the other tents available in the 2009 market. Some of them are ridiculously overpriced.
